Dropped Your Phone in Water? Do This First (Not Rice)

Dropped Your Phone in Water? Do This First (Not Rice)

The rice myth persists, but rice dust can actually get lodged in ports and speakers, making things worse. Here's what actually helps: power off immediately, don't charge it, don't press buttons, and get it to a technician within 24 hours for ultrasonic cleaning before corrosion sets in.

Our water damage service includes full disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, corrosion treatment, and component-level diagnostics — with a 3-month warranty on the repair.
